PAIL-EAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,2gg datd October 5, 1886. Application filed March 11, 1886, Serial No. 194,839. (No model.)

of a pail provided with the improved ears.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the pail-ears.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures of the drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide for pails a support by which the milkman can readily hold the pail while milking, to prevent the pail from coming in contact with the ground, and. to guard againstthe tipping over of the pail.

The invention consists in a pail-ear provided with an outwardly-curved arm for supporting a pail, the ear proper being cut out from the said arm, all as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

The ear A is preferably formed of sheet metal, with the apert'ured bodya and'the apertured ear b, for receiving the bail B, by which the pail is carried. An arm, 0, 'formed integrally with the ear b and cut from the metal from which the ear b is punched, is curved over away from the ear 11 approximately at right angles to the body a of the car, so that sides thereof. The pressure in the case of sheet-metal pails is destructive, besides involving an undesirable amount of labor in supporting the pail in the operation .of milk- 1112'.

Although I prefer to make the ear A with the auxiliary ear or arm 0 of sheet metal, it may be made of cast or malleable iron.

I am aware that ears for pails have been heretofore provided with auxiliary arms or cars for supporting the pail between the knees of the milkman, andltherefore do not broadly claim such invention.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

The herein-described pail-ear, consisting of the apertured plate A, the apertured ear b, punched from the plate, and the arm or knee support 0, formed of the metal from which the ear I) is punched, and bent over at approximately right angles to the plate, as set forth.
